Bielsa had a promising start, but everything went wrong after the 2024 Copa América. The tension with Luis Suárez and Agustín Canobbio was palpable and the players expressed their discontent. The management looked from the outside and did nothing to solve the problem.
Bielsa's legacy
Bielsa's exit left a fracture in the relationship with the squad and management. The Argentine coach had been an illustrious figure, but his management was regressive and did not yield results. The Uruguayan national team needs to rebuild and find a new direction.
